this problem has a relation with https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/uiscenedelegate#migration-guide-for-flutter-apps guides.
with new approach APNs is not working.

I reverted changes and now it is working...

--Working delegate example ( old approach )--
import UIKit
import Flutter

@main
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self as? UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
}
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
}

Can someone update its project with new approach and try it ? ( delegate and info.plist)

same issue for me.

I migrated delegate and infolist with official documentation.

Same issue for me as well, only after the UIScene migration. On simulators, physical iPhone 17, and physical iPhone 15.

Hi @utkudenis, thanks for the report and additional feedback. Since the migration guide helped, is it safe to close this?

[pamir72]

No ! It was migration that caused the problem.

[SelaseKay]

Hi all, I believe this would be resolved after we migrate the flutterfire plugins to adopt FlutterSceneLifeCycleDelegate protocol per the guide. As of now, it's only supported on a beta version of Flutter(3.38.0-0.1.pre) which means we cannot migrate yet.

Flutter 3.38.1 release ?
